FINEST TRAINING FOR YOUTH
Business Man Tells Why H Would
Have His Son Got Full News
peper Experience.
"Ts)fnfll ism. leadies that results
alone count, that excuses and equivo
cations) .nre,..,failure?,"., writes^Henry
Efcoti, vice president of a paper corii-
IiaiijiL "There is discipline in biff
newspaper offices that does not exist
in tHe average business, and that dis
cipline is based on the motto, 'No ex
cuses.' It is accepted in ordinary
business that when a man is toJd to
do something he usually expects}' de-:
tniietl instructions. 'Where do I go,
what do I do, how do, I do it, what do.
I .ask, and wbat will I do then,' are
the. questiofli^tbrtt sho^V
tltelr utter
lH'lplessu| ss an^ Ihekj^iaction.
"On the sthe^)Bt^6j a reporter gets
this training as noone'else does. He
learns to lean ^n his own-initiative
He gets an assignment,,, plansbis cam
paign arid then carries It out without
asking any questions. When-an ob
stacle conies up in the path of the
average youiig man he stops and yells
for, help. But .a4,
newspaper man
learns to etthet go through it, knock
It down or skim around it in a hurry.
He has learne-d* that excuses can't be
cashed at the bank.
"If I had a boy, and wanted to give
him a rigid business training in or-,
der"'that h^i might, bring distinction to'
himself some day in his profession,
whatever it migh be, I would like to
give him about two years under a first
clasps city editor, the kind that com
niits mental murder three or four
times a night."
Tpasted^a Dead King.
Now that the city fathers of Paris
have got back from their trip to
Scandinavia, they are telling a mean
story on M. Le Corheiller, who, as
president of the municipal council, is
about as close to being mayor of
Paris anybody can be for Paris has
no mayor in the American sense.
jV. Le Corheiller was called upon,
at Stockholm banquet, to respond
to the toast of "La Belle France," the
president of the republic, and so forth.
Raising his glass of'applejack, he
replied:
"I drink to the health of King Oscar,
to that of the royal family, to the min
isters."
'!Thore was only one thing wrong,"
bis friends will tell you maliciously.
"l\ing Oscar is boon dead for the
last ten years."N'ew York Sun.

\X7HEN your wife 'phones the
office and complains "The
Flat's freezing, and there's no
coal"- Of course, you can get it, but
it's mighty difficult bdth for
you and for us to take care of
you promptly.
Remember, there are always
stragglers. Get out of the class
and don't wait for the last min

Olive Tree's Enemies.
Besides the birds, there are numer
ous Insects which attack the fruit,
the wqod and the leaves of the olive
tree. The most dreaded of these la
a small fly called Dacus eleae, which
4s about half the size of J common
house fly/ The female has a sting
like a wasp, with which she punctures
the fruit where she deposits her eggs.
It Is'calculated that single fly will
thus destroy 300 or 400 olives.
